Nov. 30th “That’s one way”

Today / yesterday, I was on this lovely chestnut horse named “Mr. Floss”. He was so good about footing and being smart with his feet for the most part. Jumping a jump with a ditch on the other side was not his forte; no matter what you did he would jump very upright coming down right in the ditch but being a resourceful thinker, he decided all on his own that he could jump it but twist in the air landing side ways in the ditch then jump out! So, because I was in the very back we did manage… (as long as I sat back and let him be very light on his front end. He was really sweet and very good at dikes/ drains, I had a Blast! We jumped loads of banks and brush and drains. One jump was literally a large drain going up hill landing on a 1 foot ridge with brush where the horses bounce off over another drain. Hunting with the Meath is definitely a different style; you will be sitting on the top of the hill, then next thing you know your doing a full blown gallop down the other side. Mr Floss was a neat horse with a cute personality. Ok, I can hardly hold my eyes open, must mean its time for bed, good night! Thanks a million for all your work at SCR!
